Celebrate how individuals can come together and joyfully light up our community at this wonderful Tennessee STEAM Festival event! Join us here at the Discovery Center in collaboration with the Rutherford Arts Alliance for our inaugural Lantern Parade on October 20, 5:30-7 p.m.

Complimentary grilled cheese sandwiches will be provided by Electric Griddle, Middle Tennessee Electric’s community food trailer, first come first served. Enjoy music by Middle Tennessee Sinfonietta and make paper lanterns before the parade begins. Or bring a lantern you have already prepared with a battery or solar powered light, no fire please.
